Thread: Trust no One, Ever

And now you know why Tigers have been known to eat their young....some times the gene pool needs a little Clorox....

That whole butter knife screw driver thing really gets me! An alarmingly high percentage of the people I know no longer own a butter knife WITHOUT a bent and buggered tip. Too many tool illiterate people out there!

Simply a combination of things. No pride in their work, Incompetent, a type of person who has a certain outlook on things and thinks everyone else in the world is like them.

The guy probably lives under a rock somewhere.

Ah well as much as I agree that he never should have considered using any tool he doesn't own to complete his work, I'm a little sad that I'm considered an earthworm because I don't have any problems utiliyzing available materials in order to accomplish a necessary task. Take it easy on us butter knife screw drivers....It's my butter knife...I'll use it however I want, if necessity demands. Geez, Gssixgun made a snurdler out of one and I didn't hear any foo foo's about that.

It's really sad, the state of the world these days. When we were having cable and internet installed last month, 4 guys showed up in 3 vans. Before the job was complete I had to loan them a 6' step ladder, hacksaw, 1/2" Electric drill and a hammer. Nobody has their own tools any more!

I think his intent was to steal it.
Just my thoughts.

It sounds like you were dealing with one of the many contractors from Comcast...I too have had a multitude of problems. You were a lot nicer to him than most though. Patience is a virtue...

Those are my thoughts also.

In all honesty, right or wrong, I would have slammed the drawer shut (his greasy fingers inside) with my foot and explained how it's rude to touch things that aren't his.

It's a good thing you were present. If you hadn't been, you'd have found your razor all chipped.

I'd have asked him to leave.
